The Culture of Money: Implications for Contemporary Economics

English

It is widely known that at least in current societies - culture depends on money. Less attention has been given to the contrary fact: money also depends on culture. In its very foundation - negotiations, values, exchanges, debts and obligations, contracts and laws money's functioning is tied to cultural practices, institutions, identities, and meanings. This interdisciplinary anthology scrutinizes this two-way connection between culture and money, and its implications for economic theory.

In this book a wide range of established experts and newcomers from a range of disciplines investigate current economic issues from the perspective of their social and cultural embeddedness, their cultural and literary negotiations and their history. In doing so, they highlight what mainstream economics has missed, or wilfully ignored: they analyze the cultural genealogy of economic notions and concepts that have been thought of as abstract, scientific economic terms such as the concept of value; they point towards social aspects of economic action hitherto unnoticed by economics, (including power, the relevance of institutions and the role of misfortune and failure). The book also explores the looming question about what happens when the cultural foundation of money is replaced by machinic algorithms. The volume provides a valuable contribution to cultural studies current re-discovery of economic topics while taking a purposefully critical stance to this notion, as it puts particular emphasis on not just the theoretical significance but also the acute relevance of its findings.

The book therefore addresses academic audiences across a wide field of disciplines, such as the social sciences, literary and cultural studies, economics and history.
